Few cases in history have been able to stump America s most experienced investigators.
Yet the unsolved mystery of how a well-groomed businessman-type successfully hijacked a flight from Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Washington 50 years ago – only to parachute from the plane after his demands were met, never to be seen again – baffled the FBI to such a degree authorities decided to close the book on it years ago.
The odds of them ever solving the puzzle are even slimmer now: Sheridan Peterson, one of the lead suspects thought to be Dan DB Cooper , died on January 8, according to memorial website Legacy.com, taking any secrets about the case to his grave.
